For UNIX shared hosting plans (except BudgetXpress and BasicXpress):
Webvisions provides you with instant access to your daily backed-up server
via SSH or WebShell (Online file manager).
This means you need not worry about accidentally deleting a file. When you
do, you can easily recover the file by copying it over to your current
server.
To access your backup server via SSH, simply SSH into your server and type:
cd backup
This will put you directly into your backup server.
Accessing your backup server via WebShell is easy. All you need to do is
to go into your backup directory or folder. You may also follow this
instructions:
- Log into WebShell
- click on GO
- Type: backup
This will put you directly into your backup server.
Raw access logs e.g. email, web are not backed up in Virtual Servers due to the large sizes of such logs. They also do not consume your Virtual Server's space quota. Customers may choose to backup these log files on their own.

LiveBackup Process (above).

Do note that restoring MySQL database files requires a database administrator expertise. If you
require such expertise, please request this service and the updated restoration rates by writing to sales@webvisions.com with the domain name of your hosting service
